Me and a friend use to go trout fishing on the little red all the time, we would pitch rooster tails and just wear em out. One time I put a crappie jig on a beetle spin and started using it, my friend made fun of me until I put the first trout in the boat that day. I had lots of bites but had a hard time hooking them, they may have been hitting the spinner more than the jig. Anyway loads of fun and they are beautiful fish but crappie are much more tasty in my opinion.,.
